Revelation 16:17-21
New American Standard Bible
The Seventh Bowl of Wrath
17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon (A)the air, and a (B)loud voice came out of the [a](C)temple from the throne, saying, “(D)It is done.” 18 And there were flashes of (E)lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was (F)a great earthquake, (G)such as there had not been since mankind came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty. 19 (H)The great city [b]was split into three parts, and the cities of the [c]nations fell. (I)Babylon the great was (J)remembered in the sight of God, to give her (K)the cup of the wine of [d]His fierce wrath. 20 And (L)every island fled, and no mountains were found. 21 And (M)huge [e]hailstones, weighing about [f]a talent each, *came down from heaven upon people; and people (N)blasphemed God because of the (O)plague of the hail, because [g]the hailstone plague *was extremely [h]severe.

Lexham English Bible
17 And the seventh poured out his bowl on the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” 18 And there were lightnings and sounds and thunders, and there was a great earthquake, as has not happened from the time humanity has been on the earth—so great in this way was the earthquake. 19 And the great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of his furious wrath.[a] 20 And every island fled, and mountains were not found. 21 And large hailstones, weighing about a hundred pounds,[b] came down from the sky upon people, and the people blasphemed God because of the plague of hail, because the plague of it was very great.

- Revelation 16:19 Literally “of the anger of the wrath of him”
- Revelation 16:21 Literally “weighing a talent”; a talent was 125 Roman pounds (of 12 ounces each), so this is just under 100 lbs or 43 kg
